The wild truffle is a recognized nutrient-rich food considered to have a high nutritional value in many countries worldwide. However information on its nutritious values and phytochemical composition is very limited. The objective of this paper is to determine the nutrient value and the content of the most common anti-nutrients in edible mushroom (Tirmania pinoyi) from the eastern region of Morocco using standard methods. The results revealed that the energetical value is about (651 kcal/kg fresh mass) Moisture (81.5 g/100 g fresh mass) total carbohydrate (64.74 g/100g dry mass) Crude protein (26.96 g/100g dry mass) Crude fat (3.01 g/100g dry mass) Ash (5.28g/100g dry mass) insoluble ash (0.0047g/100g dry mass) and dietary fiber (13.3 g/100g dry mass). Copper was the most abundant trace element with a concentration of 65.3 mg/Kg dry mass. Cyanide oxalate mercury and arsenic were absent. Some of the risk elements namely cadmium and lead were significantly lower in mushroom compared to their toxic levels according to World Health Organizations safe limits. These results suggest that the truffles analyzed represent a significant source of nutrients and are safe for consumption. A significant presence of saponins and steroids was also shown and indicates potential therapeutic properties.

Abstract

The wild truffle is a recognized nutrient-rich food considered to have a high nutritional value in many countries worldwide. However information on its nutritious values and phytochemical composition is very limited. The objective of this paper is to determine the nutrient value and the content of the most common anti-nutrients in edible mushroom (Tirmania pinoyi) from the eastern region of Morocco using standard methods. The results revealed that the energetical value is about (651 kcal/kg fresh mass) Moisture (81.5 g/100 g fresh mass) total carbohydrate (64.74 g/100g dry mass) Crude protein (26.96 g/100g dry mass) Crude fat (3.01 g/100g dry mass) Ash (5.28g/100g dry mass) insoluble ash (0.0047g/100g dry mass) and dietary fiber (13.3 g/100g dry mass). Copper was the most abundant trace element with a concentration of 65.3 mg/Kg dry mass. Cyanide oxalate mercury and arsenic were absent. Some of the risk elements namely cadmium and lead were significantly lower in mushroom compared to their toxic levels according to World Health Organizations safe limits. These results suggest that the truffles analyzed represent a significant source of nutrients and are safe for consumption. A significant presence of saponins and steroids was also shown and indicates potential therapeutic properties.
